Feeling very unattractive

Lounge
1

Sooo, after losing 25 pounds I decided to post a picture to Facebook. My last photo clear back in 2017 got 12 likes (when I weighed 185). Anyway, after posting this picture I get 0 likes. I’m a friendly person on Facebook. I guess I looked better when I was a little overweight or it’s just a really bad photo.

Anyway, I’m a very self conscious person when it comes to how I look. I know looks aren’t everything and that I’m not the best looking person but sometimes a person just wants to feel like someone thinks they are desirable. Ya’ know?

Yeah I get that. I’m sure you look perfectly fine. You don’t have to seek validation from likes. All that matters is that you’re confident in yourself.

It’s a mental thing for me. On my psyche eval I got low self esteem and bdd. Thanks for the response. :sunny:

I see. It is hard to accept yourself, especially with BDD. I’m sorry you have to suffer through this.

Understandable. I feel like crap most days too. My paranoia makes me feel like people are staring at me then I feel uncomfortable.

I think a lot of people think the same way you do, I never post my pic on facebook, mostly for privacy reasons

It all comes from the fact that in high school, people on more than one occasion, would say I look like an ugly girl. Even though I’m a guy. I guess it was the fact that I didn’t hit puberty yet. idk…

Stuff like that can really impact a person. It’s not cool to make fun of people. I don’t understand why people are okay with it.

Likes mean nothing. They’re probably jealous. :slight_smile:
